Here’s how to prevent lice infestation at the sports club
Schools and camps are sometimes hotbeds for lice, but the critters can also easily move from head to head at the sports club.

To understand which hair is most attractive to lice, we need to examine how lice actually move. Are you picturing a louse enthusiastically jumping from one head to another? Then we have to disappoint you. Lice cannot jump or fly; they can only crawl. To get onto a certain head, they use the electrostatic attraction of the hair, which ‘sucks’ them aboard, so to speak. Children with more electrostatically charged hair, for example, because they have curls, are therefore more often prey to lice. But curly hair is not the only type of hair in which lice like to nestle…
In addition to people with curls, those with longer locks are also easier prey for lice. The reason is again that the creatures can cling to it more easily than to shorter hair. Tip: the Lice Protecting Factor in Elimax 2in1 – which can also be used preventively – reduces the electrostatic charge of your child’s hair, making the chance of (re)infestation much smaller.
Finally, long loose hair is more susceptible to lice than long hair that is tied up. Is there a lice outbreak at school? Then you better send your child with long hair to class with a bun or a braid!

Lice immediately associate with itching – sometimes the very idea is enough to get you scratching.
